This much-collapsed building is on the S side of the SE entrance of the monastic enclosure (GA021-026022-) on High Island. It is built against the enclosure wall and is roughly subrectangular in plan. It varies in width between 2.9m at its NW end and 3.8m at its SE end. The NE side is 3.7m long and the SW side is 4.3m. The doorway was in the SE wall. The width of the walls (c. 1-1.5m) suggests that roof was of timber rather than of corbelled stone. The size and location of the building, just outside the main entrance to the monastery, suggest that it was probably a guesthouse (White Marshall and Rourke 2000, 49-51).
